Aston Villa right-back Alan Hutton is hopeful successive wins has helped ease the pressure on under-fire manager Paul Lambert.
Lambert
appeared to be on borrowed time as Villa went through a nine-match
winless streak in the Premier League, which included six consecutive
defeats.
But Hutton's match-minute winner at home to Leicester City on Sunday saw Villa claim back-to-back victories.
Villa are now five games unbeaten and occupy 11th spot in the
standings, a run of form Hutton hopes will help ease the fan's
frustrations.
"I hope it has eased the pressure on him – we've got a lot of hard
games out of the way," said Hutton, who was labelled as the "best
right-back" in the Premier League by Lambert following Sunday's triumph.
"I understand the fans' frustrations. They come and want to see you
winning and playing good football but we're are five unbeaten now and we
want to keep getting better and better.
"If you look at our squad, when we have everyone fit, we rival most
teams. Players like Fabian Delph and Ron Vlaar are coming back so we'll
have good competition for places.
"I don't see why we can't push up a few more places in the league."
